WWE News: Former World Champion's wife could get him out of retirement
Mark Henry was recently interviewed by Nick Hausman of WrestingInc and the former World Heavyweight Champion shared his thoughts on a variety of topics during the interaction
One of the quotes that stood out was Henry talking about possibly coming out of retirement for another match or two. The former ECW Champion said that while he would say no, his wife could influence him to get back to the ring.
He added that he could be enticed into wrestling again if the money is right, as, after all, the bills have to be paid.
“Listen, I told you: ‘If anybody hits me, I’m calling the police. No more wrestling. It’s a lot of hugging, a lot of shaking hands, and a lot of kissing babies [now]. I would say no, but my wife would say yes. If you start throwing a little money around, you know, we’ve got to get them bills paid.” H/t: Credit: WrestlingInc
